More Evidence Of Impending Societal Collapse

More Evidence Of Impending Societal Collapse

Manners, common decency and respect for others are lost American traits.
Interactions turn nasty at the drop of a hat. Name-calling and the
violence now pass for discussion. Young children are resorting to theft.
I recently wrote about some of the signs of societal collapse here. Here are some more, taken from recent headlines:
A Pennsylvania man became irate
after the replacement hamburger he requested contained a slice of
cheese. The replacement was necessary because the first one he ordered
at the drive-thru also contained a slice of cheese. He parked his car,
entered the restaurant and demanded and received a refund. He then
cursed the staff, knocked over a trash can and threw a children’s high
chair across a room filled with diners. When he realized that a
restaurant worker had followed him outside to get his license plate
number, the man grabbed the female worker, put her in a headlock and
smashed the phone she was carrying. He then threatened to fight another
employee before leaving.
A 65-year-old priest waiting on a bus was attacked with pepper spray and robbed of $125 at a bus stop in Philadelphia in broad daylight.
A college student riding a Chicago Transit Authority train was attacked by a man who put a sock filled with feces
in her face and hair and on her clothes. The victim said she did not
know the attacker and he uttered no words and did not demand her
valuables. “I don’t know why he did it,” she said.
A diner at a Denny’s restaurant in San Antonia, Texas, became irate at being made to wait on his bill, so he set fire to the restaurant’s Christmas tree and left the restaurant. The flames caused $150,000 in damage to the business.
An 8-year-old girl was caught on a surveillance camera stealing a package
off her neighbor’s porch in Clermont, Fla. Police investigating a spate
of missing packages from the neighborhood believe the girl is
responsible for all or most of them. Some of the stolen packages were
found at a nearby abandoned house.
In Wentzville, Mo., barbershop patrons were discussing the Sandy Hook
Elementary School shootings. One patron said the incident “makes me
want to murder the suspect.” For unknown reasons, another patron took
that as a threat against him. He retrieved a gun from his car and fired three times at the other patron.
In South Union Township, Pa., two women tussled over a shopping cart
at the Wal-Mart Supercenter. When one of the women abandoned the cart
and grabbed another, the other woman “still engraged” then “ran down”
the first woman with the cart, pushed it onto her back and began
punching her in the face.
On a single afternoon in Chicago, a city in the State with the Nation’s most restrictive gun laws, a series of eight shootings left at least 10 people wounded, including four teenagers.
We live in a Nation in which God has been removed from schools,
prayers are banned from public places and babies are slaughtered by the
thousands on a daily basis. Unemployment remains high and inflation is
sapping the wealth of the elderly and savers. Politicians squabble over
whether they are going to screw us out of a lot of money or a lot more
while ginning up class envy and promoting hatred of one group over
another simply on the basis of wealth.
We have become an entertainment-centric, me-first society that has
gone from slouching toward Gomorrah to a full-on sprint. We are on the
brink of societal collapse.
